Antique Victorian Pressed Glass Salt Cellar Dish

Pressed glass open salt cellar, late 19th century, with a starburst base, crosshatch and fan cutting around the bowl, and a scalloped rim. Open salts of this kind were set along the Victorian dining table for use with small salt spoons. American or English, circa 1880 to 1900, unmarked. Small enough to serve as a salt dish, ring dish, or vanity accent.
